Class 3 Flashcards
Crowding problems are often associated with
Class I problems
Most people are class i
Over time both areches
Tend to get more crowding
Hispanics
Have more crowding
Classification of crowding based on
Facial form
Appropriate radiographs
Space analaysis
Very protrusive patients
Increased arch will make them more protrusive
When can you protrude teeth
When lips are incompetent in regards to maxillary and chin
Excess space usually no treatment unless
esthetics/trauma
Eruption problems
Pathology
Looped arched wire
Rectangular wire
2 point contact
Labial bow wire
One point contact
Round wire
2 appliances for incisor retraction
Looped arch wire
Labial bow
Finger spring to close diastema
Tipping
Closing diastema with arch wire
Bodily movement
Space management no tax
The consequences are ultimate crowding with a class I molar relationship
OR
Required expansion treatment with Class I molar relationships
Disking
Using with minor irrgeulatiry
Make true vertical reduionts
Possible sites are mesial and distal surface of primary canines and molars
Consider f varnish
Do NOT disk percent teeth in mixed dentin
Holding arches
Construct with ideal arch form
Soldered arches most reliable
Faciolingula discrpeneices resolve best
Some limitations as a tooth mover
LLHA controls
Arch form and coordination
Some biomechanics may require
adjustments of LLHA
LLHA can be used as
A retainer
LLHA can control
arch length and move teeth
band and loop
Difficult to place on primary molar
Can be distorted
Distal shoe
Only when there is a missing primary secondary molar prior to eruption of permanent 1st molar
60-66% successful
1 mm below margin ridge
Unilateral/bi
